About


Professional Bio

I initially entered the editorial world as a writer, first for my high school newspaper, The Scout, and then for my college newspaper, The Trail.

After college, I worked for nonprofits for four years (two years in El Paso and two years in Milwaukee), writing and editing federal and local grant proposals; requests-for-proposals; business and corporate communications such as quarterly newsletters, reports, and website content; and other technical documents like standard operating procedures, training presentations, and instruction manuals.

Currently, I edit nonfiction works such as policy documents, proposals, reports, and research for entities such as the National Association of Regulatory Utility Commissioners (NARUC), United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), and U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID).

Every day, I listen to the radio show Marketplace hosted by Kai Ryssdal, and I love drinking coffee and tea while working. I enjoy cooking, knitting, traveling Colombia, and walking.
